Oregon law requires when a house is conveyed that it have working CO and Smoke detectors. Its the sellers responsibility, but it becomes a common requirement and included as a FHA requirement when I don't find them.
"During 1999–2010, a total of 5,149 deaths from unintentional carbon monoxide poisoning occurred in the United States, an average of 430 deaths per year. The average annual death rate from carbon monoxide poisoning for males (0.22 per 100,000 population) was more than three times higher than that for females (0.07). The death rates were highest among those aged ≥65 years for males (0.42) and females (0.18). The rates were the lowest for males (0.08) and females (0.04) aged <25 years."
CO2 deaths are rare and usually a function industrial accidents, weird acts of nature.
